Abstract:There is an urgent need for new approaches to reduce the environmental impact of plastics. One approach is to enhance recyclability. Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), where crosslinks are chemically reversible, offer an attractive alternative to thermoset materials. Another option is to strengthen polymers using nanofillers, to reduce the amount of material needed. In this regard, single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are excellent candidates as fillers due to their extreme strength‐to‐weight ratio and dime… Show more
